Abstract in brief

  • This study introduces a soft robotic left ventricle that mimics the complex movement and pressure of the heart’s muscle tissue using artificial muscles, aiming to improve medical testing and training.
  • The device uses layers of artificial muscle fibers inspired by real heart muscle structure, and can simulate healthy and diseased heart conditions by following data from real animal hearts.
  • The simulator has been tested successfully within a mock circulation system, demonstrating its potential for preclinical testing of heart devices and personalized cardiac therapies, potentially reducing reliance on animal models.]
